Something's going on, it's not good were the words to come out from Trumps mouth, speaking about the presence of a slain US soldiers parents attendance at the annual Democratic convention last Thursday .

Captain Humayun Khan was killed by a car bomb in 2004 at the age of 27.

WHY SKY DIVE Jump without parachute was a KRAFT and Mondelez failure

WHY KRAFT AND MONDELEZ FAILED  Ok you seen the story you've heard about Luke Akin right ? Luke jumped out of a plane at 25 000 ft without a chute and landed on a net, safely back on earth ok.  Great , now here's the thing how many of you will remember, in the future what brand it was for or the brand strident gum ? probably a fraction of you . That's my point , chewing gum is predominantly bought by a younger demographic audience who do spend a lot more time online rather that watching TV , or newspapers . My point the stunt by mondelez was about engaging brand profile of their confectionary in this case the gum . You tube is now the second largest search engine in the world.  Frequented, though not entirely but a large proportion of younger demographics , like myself many a youtuber upload and re share uploaded content on youtube for their own website blog etc  So I was surprised by Mondelez owned by even larger food giant Kraft, who own the v...

Moment daredevil skydiver Luke Aikins becomes the first man to jump 25,000ft from a plane and land safely WITHOUT a parachute

A daredevil skydiver on Saturday became the first to jump from a height of 25,000 feet (7,620 meters) without a parachute, landing in a net in southern California, a spokesman said. Luke Aikins, 42, who has 18,000 jumps under his belt, completed the jump in Simi Valley just west of Los Angeles, landing in a net measuring 100 feet by 100 feet (30 meters by 30 meters) in a feat broadcast on Fox. "Aikins' leap represents the culmination of a 26-year career that will set a personal and world record for the highest jump without a parachute or wing suit," his spokesman Justin Aclin said in an email. The Fox broadcast showed Aikins, who was wearing an oxygen mask because of the altitude, jump out of a propeller plane in a bright green outfit along with three parachutists. He later handed the mask to one of the other jumpers in mid-air. Then, the three accompanying skydivers opened their chutes and seemed to rise up away from Aikins, as he fell alone. Lights were set al...

Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign has been hacked as part of a larger cyber attack against Democratic Party institutions, US media report. The latest hack follows two data breaches involving the Democratic National Committee and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. US officials widely believe that the cyber attacks were committed by agents working for the Russian government. Russian Capabilty Experts say the Russian state, via the FSB, has a well developed offensive hacking capability. It has previously been accused of deploying that capability in Estonia, Georgia and Ukraine.

There are also other non-state hacker groups which experts say sometimes collaborate with the security services, motivated by patriotism or money. Mark Galeotti, se...

长征七号运载火箭 Chang Zheng 7 Chinese Rocket Re enters earth's atmosphere giving US firework display

A giant piece of a recently launched Chinese rocket fell to Earth last wednesday night (July 27), blazing a spectacular sky trail that left observers across parts of the western United States slack-jawed. The dazzling fireball, which you can see in this awesome video by observer Matt Holt, lit up skies over Utah, Nevada, Colorado, Idaho and California about 9:40 p.m. local time Wednesday (12:40 a.m. EDT and 0440 GMT today, July 28), breaking into many bright pieces as it went. The sky show occurred around the peak of the annual Delta Aquarid meteor shower, but it wasn't caused by bits of comet dust. Rather, experts say, the culprit Wednesday night was the second stage of China's Long March 7 rocket, which launched on its maiden flight June 25.
